Great Change Coming.

The range business is almost thing Of
the past on the plains. There may be next
year one more general roundup, but it
will probably be the last. The country is
being oecnpied so rapidly and fences are
becoming so numerous that after next
year it will practically be impossible to
hold a general roundup. There will then
be comparatively few range cattle left on
the plains aid each outfit will be able to
roundup its own stock.
This change is being wrought by the
farmers who are taking UP land under the
homestead and timber claims. As for the
cattlemen, they are either going out of the
business or they are driving into other
states. Some of them are going to Ari-
zona and others to Montana, while some
are even going so far as the British pos
sessions. The breeding outfits will nearly
all move, for it is not profitable to market
large number Of COWS. But many of the
steer outfits will go out of the business.
They will buy no more cattle, and thus
they will in about three years, by their an
nual sales, dispose of all their stock.
1t does not follow from this, however,
that the total number of cattle in Colorado
will be reduced. The farmers who are
coming in will keep small punches of cat
tie, and thus, on cultivated pastures, there
will probably be more cattle fed than has
at any time in the past been maintained
upon the range.-Deauer Republican,.

Still Extending.

BISMARCK, June 15.-The Manitoba
company has let the contract for the build
ing of the road from Minot to Coal Har-
hor, to enter the famous coal district of
Mclean county. The Manitoba system is
becoming SO great that it is reaching for
nearly every desirable spot in Dakota, and
surely no more desirable country exists
than that of Mclean and Burleigh coun-
ties, where can be found not only the
finest agricultural lands in the northwest,
but also the best coal beds.
1t is understood that the line will be
completed during the present season. This
is one of the greatest evidences of grow
ing boom for the entire Missouri slope
and is proof of the oft-repeated statement
that the great attraction for railroads in
this vicinity is the inexhaustible supply
of coal.
The new northern road will not only be
great boom for Mclean county, but as
Mr. Hill has already planned for roads to
Bismarck, it insures an early building OF
his road from the southeast SO that he may
have through connections and be able to
supply fuel to south as we'll as to north
Dakota,

Petty Thieving.

The small amount Of petty thieving
committed in and about Great Falls during
the past two years has been remarkable
indeed, but it seems the element who en-
gage In that industry are now making up
for lost time. Yesterday some scamp
made forcible entry into A E. Dickerman's
cabin near the Giant spring, carried
off everything peStable, and forgot to leave
his card. Mr.. Dickerman has d notice
in another column, offering a reward of
$500 for the apprehension and conviction
of the thief or thieves. This reward is
sufficient to make 1t an object for the of
fcers to make a thorough search, and
bring the culprit to justice. The value of
the articles stolen is Insignificant and the
large reward offered is merely to LET the
thieving element understand that any vio-
latioE of the laws will be prosecuted to
the fullest extent Mr.. Dickerman is to
be complimented for the prompt and lib
eral steps he has taken in this matter, and
1t everyone would follow his example, un-
der similar circumstances, it would not be
very long until this element of society
would be effectually stamped out.

Great Railroad Building.

The Manitoba company is achieving the
greatest feat ever attempted in the way of
rapid railroad building. Three thousand
teams and seven thousand men are work
ing on the Minot extension, and tracklay-
ing is completed five miles every day. At
present the road is completed to Buford,
a distance of about one hundred and forty
miles west Of Minot From Bnferd to
Great Falls the distance is 403 miles, and
it is the intention of the company to have
the road completed and trains running to
that point BY the first Of September. The
company is also preparing to handle busi-
ness on the extension from Minot to Fort
Buford. Great Falls is reported booming,
and the future before her is grand one,
and she is destined to become the great
railroad centre Of Montana. Magnate Hill
being interested in. the town is sufficient
IN itself to insure Its future prosperity.

LAW AND ORDER.
Public Sentiment Fayors Additional
Police Protectlon-The Town
to be Made Too Hot
for Evil-Doers.

The approach of the immense army OF
laborers connected with the construction
of the Manitoba railroad and the general
influx of people is causing some concern
as regards the preservation of the public
peace. 1t is felt that as 5000 men may be
employed in this neighborhood for
month or longer, something should be
done to keep in check the human 'syul-
tures' who, according TO newspaper re-
port, follow the railroad builders. The
recent street disturbance and the plunder
of Mr. Dickerman's ranch have convinced
people that at least ordinary police pre-
cautions must be taken to suppress law
lessness and keep the tewn clear of dis
orderly people. At a gathering of citizens
last evening this subject was discussed,
and as first step committee was ap-
pointed to select night and a day watch
man, who are to be paid by public sub
scription. The advisability OF incorpora-
ting the town was also discussed.
Those present also discussed reports
that some persons were jumping lands in
this neighhorhood. 1t was decided to
present a solid front against such prac-
ticess and to make common cause with any
man whose property is endangered by
blackmailers. A strong determination
was evinced to prevent any such attempts
at jumping lands or lots as have caused
so much annoyance in Helena and other
Montana towns. It was felt that such
scoundrelisln would retard the invest
ment of capital, lower the value of proper
ty and give the town bad name.
In general, the citizens are determined
to maintain law and order and keep row.
dyism in check Intown are many veter-
ans who have been Through the milln

annoyances to which new cities are ex-
posed, and they are determined that the
good name of this city shall be upheld.

ait Will be All Light There -

Children are happy counselers. They
are to our hard, practical, everyday lives
what the stars are to the heavens, or the
flowers and birds to the earth.
There is family in this city who are de-
pendent at this moment upon little chila
for all the present sunshine of their
lives.
A few weeks ago the young wife and
mother was stricken down to die.
It was so sudden, so dreadful when
the grave family physician called them
together in the parlor, and in his solemn
professional way intimated to them the
truth-there was no hope!
Then the question arose among them,
who would tell her?
Not the doctor! 1t would be cruel to let
the man of science go to their dear one
with such an errand.
Not the aged mother, who would be
left childless and alone.
Nor the young husband, who was walk
ing the floor with clinched hands and re-
be1lious heart.
No-there was only one other, and at
this moment he looked up from the book
he had been playing with, unnoticed by
them all and asked gravely:
"Is my mamma doin' to die!"
Then, without waiting for answer, he
sped from the room and up stairs as fast
as his little feet would carry him.
Friends and neighbors were watching
by the sick woman. They wonderingly
noticed the pale face of the child as he
climbed on the bed and laid his small
head on his mothers pillow.

The mother looked at him with swift
intelligence. Perhaps she had been
thinking Of this.
"Who-told- you Charlie?" she asked,

after one supreme pang OF grief; mo,

s.Tus' shut your eyes in e dark, mamma,

When the family gathered awe-strieken
at the bedside Charlie held up his little
hand. J
sHu-s-h! My mamma doan to sleep.
Her won't wake up here any more!'
And it so proved. There was no heart
rending farewell, no agony of parting, for
when the young mother woke she had
passed beyond, and, as baby Charlie said,
at was all light there. Detroit Free

Errors Corrected.

The Rsoer Press is not posted in regard
to Sand Coulee coal, but the Indictment
of the Northwest Magazine, while it spec
ifies the article from the section named,
SCENE to be directed against the coal of
northern Montana in general. This being
true, it is decidedly at fault in every par
ticular. Twelve or fifteen years working
proves the coal of Belt creek, which has
been opened and developed in many
places, to be in true and permanent veins
and in quality, as reported upon by vari-
Gus experts, it is at the head Of the list of
Montana Goals. The same is true of the
Deep creek coal, where most valuable de-
posts Of that article have been found and
traced. The Sand Coulee coal Is midway
between these two fields and is probably
Of the same quality. The Rtoer Press is
doubtful about any adverse Northern Pa
citic reports on this coal. Wizards costly
trans-continental survey outfit made a
cursory examination of these fields. Prof.
Pumpelly himself examined the coal and
pronounced it the best quality he had
seen in Montana. Mr.. George II. Ed
ridge made the special examination and
was profuse in his praises of it, pronounc
ing it the best article he had met with in
Montana. An interview with the gentle
man to this effect was published in the
Riger Press of November. 1882, which
goes to show that his report of the general
coal fields of northern Montana could not
have been very damaging, whatever he
may have said of the Sand Coulee banks.

Murdered by a Youth.

BARNsyILLE, Pa, June 16-The full de-
tails of the murder of Col. John G. Ham
cock, leading and wealthy citizen of
Crawford county, show it to have been a
premeditated affair. Col. Hancock was a
large planter, having for neighbor Rev.
John A. Burnett. Mr.. Burnett objected to
Hancock's having impounded some of his
stock and quarreling with him, when Jer-
ONE Burnett, his 17-year-old son, stepped
up. Leaving the two men to their dispu-
tation, Jerome went half a mile to his
home, procured his shotgun and returned.
He sat on a stump about 30 yards away
from the men, apparently obvious to what
was going on. As soon as Col. Hancock
turned toward him Jerome raised his gun

the falling man, not realizing the terrible

A Big Land Sale.

HELENA, June 16.-Another large real
estate deal was consummated Saturday
night by telegraph between St. Paul capt.
talists and Porter s. Muth, the Helena real
estate dealers. HI. w. Child, now in st.
Paul, telegraphed his associates here to
take up the bond they held on the Bene-
dict ranch, and have the deed made out at
once in his name as trustee. E. D. Edger-
ton, president of the Second National
Bank, at once completed the transfer with
Mr.. Benedict and made the first payment
upon the purchase The land bought
comprises 800 acres and lies adjoining the
FAINT ranch just west of Helena. The
price paid is $4,000, at the rate OF 800 per
acre.
The purchasers, it is understood, are the
same parties who bought the FAINT ranch a
short time ago at the same figures, viz:
Northern Pacific officers and other st.
Paul capitalists and few moneyed men
of Helena.
Mr.. Child has been offered 100000 in
ST. Paul for the FAINT ranch.

enterprise.

The GROWTH Of cities confirms the
just expectations of Great Falls in
that respect. Thus Denver in 1870
hads.less than 1000 people, in 1880
she had nearly 36, 900 and at present
has about 10000. Duluth which had
only about 5000 people in 1880 now
has $4,000. In Great Falls we may
expect more rapid ratio of increase
than either city, as mining, grazing
and farming attract people to this lo-
ca1ity, as we'll as trade, railroads and
manufactures.

stated he was employed on the construc-
tion work, and that owing to poor board
and poor accommodations, about seventy
men went out on regular Chicago strike.
The strike resulted in the contractor tele-
graphing for another force of men, and
the strikers were paid off and politely re-
quesed to take advantage of the interstate
commerce law, and avail themselves of a
tie-pass to Minot. Men are arriving from
the end of the track every day, having
failed to find work owing to the fact that
there is surplus of men all along the
line Small strikes under those circum-
stances are not in vogue, as it were, on
the line of the Manitoba extension, as the
contractors have the 'scinch."

MONTANA,s CREDIT.

Everything indicates that Montana
is growing in public estimation in
New York, Chicago and st. Paul
cities which represent the opinions
held by moneyed men engaged in va
ried enterprises. Even abroad the
fame of Montana is great, and were
it not for the alien Jaw large sums of
British money would have been in
vested in the development of our
mines.
In New York the reputation of
Montana has bsen improved by the
greatness of her mineral product, the
good credit Of her cities, and by the
construction Of the Manitoba and
Montana Central railroads, which are
regarded as pioneers of progress and
prosperity. The large accumulation
of money at Helena and the liberal
dividends paid by some Montana
mines also enhance the credit of Mon
tana on Wall street, and will render it
easy to raise money there for new
enterprises of the right kind.
In Chicago, where moneyed men
judge of new regions ;: ;:om different
point of view, Montana has won the
regard of the wholesale trade by her
large investments in dry goods, gro
ceries and hardware, which our peo-
pie consume largely and our mer-
chants pay for promptly. Our fat
steers and heavy feeces also serve to
convince Chicago of the productive
ness of Montana grasses. Her own
wondrous growth likewise enables
Chicago to form just estimate of the
rapid progress which may be expected
in cities like Great Falls, when home
enterprise is aided by railroad COM
munication and the wealth which
flows from productive regions.
In st. Paul the real estate agents,
who are quick to discern signs of
prosperity, are convinced that Mon
tana is advancing rapidly in wealth
and is good place for investments.
The st. Paul merchants who make an
annual tour to Montana also have
great faith in the Manitoba project
because the extension of that road
means new fields of enterprise for the
jobbers and manufacturers of the
twin cities. They have visible proof
of our growth in the large freight
traffic between their cities and Mon
tana, and they will no doubt put forth
all their energies to establish trade
with all the new regions as fast as
they are developed.
The natural result of these combin-
ed opinions will be a steady influx of
capital to Montana and better still
the constant immigration Of men of
enterprise.
